    This document describes a method for determining organic carbon in textile sludge. The method involves taking a 0.2g sample, adding dichromate and sulfuric acid, and boiling for 30 minutes. The sample is then titrated against ferrous ammonium sulfate to determine the organic carbon percentage, which is calculated using a provided formula based on the titrant values for the sample and a blank reagent mixture.

    Determination of organic carbon

     Textile sludge of 0.2g was taken into a 500ml conical flask and 10ml of potassium
    dichromate and 20ml of concentrated sulphuric acid was added.
     The conical flask containing sample mixture was boiled for 30 minutes and cooled
    at 30oC.
     The boiling conical flask with the reagents alone serves as blank.
     Orthophosphoric acid of 10ml and indicator solution of 0.3ml was taken in the
    conical flask and titrated against ferrous ammonium sulphate.
     The total organic carbon (%) was calculated by the formula:-
    Organic carbon (%) = 0.003× (0.2×(Vb-Vs) ×100)

    Wt. of the sample

    Vb =Ferrous ammonium sulphate(0.2M titrant value(ml) against blank

    Vs =Ferrous ammonium sulphate(0.2M) titrant value (ml) against sample

    ‘T’ ml of 0.2M Fe++ solution=(12/4000) ×(0.2×(Vb-Vs))g Carbon value 12/4000 is the milli-
    equivalent weight of carbon in grams.
